Roky Oh Roky, How Perfect Your Sounds

Posted about 5 years ago
Man, everytime I hear 'The Interpreter' by Roky Erickson it brings me back to a simpler time in life. Sitting in an friends apartment freshman year (he was an upper classman) , getting stoned out of our minds. Listening to the likes of Roky with another friend of mine that year, who just happened to be a sorta exchange student from Australia. He was the one who turned me onto Roky. Same time we would listen to Roxy Music and Pink Floyd. What a great bunch of mental adventures we had back then, simply sitting around listening to music with a little chemical enhancement.Aaah, them were the days.drew

  2. Anonymous says I can't put the Roky right in the palm of your hand, but I can do something better: Hers's a link to a WFMU archive page. On it you will find "I Think of Demons" by Roky Erickson. Play it, then let the rest of the archived show play. Or, bookmark the page and start surfing the best radio station in the country (if you don't already). http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/21050 Also, if you are curious about some other performer, Google their name and "WFMU". If WFMU has played them, Google will likely lead you to an archive page.

    1234chainsaw says Man, especially those versions of "The Interpreter" that have the sweet dual guitar leads. "White Faces" is awesome too. I miss my 7" of Roky teaming up with 27 Devils Joking for a rawk version of "You Don't Love Me Yet" (not available on CD as far as I know, sigh).
